Alistair McGowan and Charlotte Page

"Truly wonderful! Romantic, poignant, painful and funny. All
one would expect from Coward and a lot that one wouldn't. It's
amazing how relevant he is today. I loved it !" Gyles
Brandreth

" ….their selection of Cowards' songs and poems goes a long
way to demonstrating that there is more to the man than clipped
tones and terribly upright manners….Page in particular is
enchanting throughout, with a lightness and warmth that puts one in
mind of Joyce Grenfell at her height." The Stage

Making their debut at Crazy Coqs, Alistair
McGowan is joined by his wife, actress Charlotte
Page, to perform Sincerely Noel, a
personally selected medley of songs and poems by Noel Coward.

Under the crisp direction of Brendan O'Hea and with the skilled
Musical Arrangements of Warren Wills, they breathe new life into
some classic Coward songs and showcase some of his more obscure
work. Songs include Mad About The Boy, Never Again, I
Believe, We Were Dancing and Alice Is At It
Again.

Poems include the
touchingHoneymoon 1905;the terrible sadness ofReunionin which a husband and wife realise the damage
that war has done to their relationship;Social Grace,in which Coward encounters an hilariously
over-enthusiastic fan and the epic'Not yet The Dodo,'in which two upper-middle-class parents are
forced to come to terms with their son's homosexuality.

Alistair McGowan is probably best known for his BAFTA-winning
show The Big Impression, but he has also acted with The
Royal Shakespeare Company and taken lead roles in West End Musicals
Cabaret and Little Shop of Horrors and in West
End plays Art and Pygmalion. He was part of the
BBC's hugely successful Bleak House and is also familiar
to younger audiences from CBBC's drama Leonardo.

2013 was a busy year for Alistair with a 50-date UK stand-up
tour of his show Not Just A Pretty Voice. He also took
part in the first ever French speaking gig performed in the UK by
two English comics when he accepted Eddie Izzard's invitation to
support him in Sheffield. Most recently, he has been appearing on
The One Show, analysing British accents and has just
completed a 16-week tour playing Henry Higgins in
Pygmalion to rave reviews.
